BABYSITTING JENNA

HOLLYWOOD: CALIFORNIA***

The dark clouds could be seen, the full moon could be seen, the cool wind is blowing and at the middle of two houses, an average house of not too big not to small could be seen

Inside, it shows a girl in her early 20's with curly long black hair and glasses, sitting on the yellow single couch with folded legs and handling a huge cup of popcorn

From the look of things she is watching a horror movie, the whole lights were turned off so everywhere is dark the only light shinning on her face is from the TV

A scene popped where a dragon is coming to eat up a boy from behind, her eyes widened, she seemed so eager to see what was gonna happen but the lights suddenly turned on and everywhere shinned bright yellow

"Hi Irish, just got back from work" Della said, entering with her bag and a smile on her face

"Damn you distracted me, you could have just go to the room quietly, now I've lost interest in my movie" Irish frowned and stood up, she's not too tall or short unlike Della

Della is a bit short and bursty, she has short hair stopping at her cheeks plus she's cute

"I'm sorry I'm sorry, I won't make noise next time, what about Kaylee is she home yet?" Della asked, taking off get shoes

"Nope, she's not back from work, I've been here by myself since morning no work no nothing at all, Just me, eating, sleeping, playing games as usual" Irish rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen

"Don't feel bad, the last company you signed up for didn't accept you, I'm sure this one would" Della said, going to meet her in the kitchen

"Yeah, hope so but if they don't I won't even care, I'm destined not to work in this world" Irish shurgged and put some strawberries in the blender

"Are you making a strawberry smoothie, can you make one for me too?" Della asked, licking her lips

"Yes yes I've heard you" Irish rolled her eyes and turn on the blender so Della would stop talking

"I'll be in the room" Della shouted and climbed the stairs that lead to the room

While Irish is still blending some stuffs the door opened revealing the most sexiest girl anyone has ever set their eyes on

"Baby!" Irish screamed and turned off the blender then rushed to hug Kaylee

Kaylee is pretty tall, bursty, she's got a*s, curves and pretty face

"I know you miss me" Kaylee chuckled and hugged her back

"Kaylee" Della who have changed to her blue pjyamas already, shouted as she climbed down the stairs

"My second baby" Kaylee hugged her tight, Della chuckled and buried her face on Kaylee's b**bs

"Damn Delly, don't be a perv" Kaylee chuckled and pushed her head off

"Why did you come home so late, don't tell me you were looking at your boss again" Irish pouted while Della entered the kitchen to serve herself a smoothie

"Sorry baby, I couldn't help myself" Kaylee pouted

"Whatever, guess what" Irish asked

"What"

"I just applied in your boss company as an intern, don't know if he would accept me" Irish pouted

"Seeing the kind of girl you are, ion think so especially with your condition but you should sleep early, he hates lateness" Kaylee said, removing her suit jacket and climbed the stairs

"You know my condition right?" Irish asked

"Oh right, sorry" Kaylee chuckled and went to her, Irish turned back to the kitchen with widened eyes. Della had just drank all the smoothie she made

"Oops sorry" Della flashed a pleading smile

Irish tapped her forehead and went to sit at the red couch, in the living room there are three single coucgh which are red, yellow and green, their house is just like a rainbow washing machine, too colorful

Irish smiled and took her popcorn then turn on the TV to start watching another movie

"Hi, I'm Irish... I don't have a last name because I don't really know who I am, my parents abandoned me in a broken car when I was just 7 and I don't even know how I got to know this crazy roomies of mine what I know is that we've been friends since highschool, we went to a bff collage and graduated together.

Della is cutest among all of us and she's a crazy foodie but she's not fat, she's just short and bursty. Kaylee is the sexiest among all of us, even in highschool she has always stolen the guys heart, she's a play girl she has changed boyfriend like shoes but she's madly in love with her boss.

Why me I'm the craziest and also cute, I'm suffering from a very weird condition, which is I can't sleep at night yeah, when everyone are sleeping in the night I'm always wide awake like a bat, no matter the amount of pills I take I can't sleep, if I try to, some weird noise would wake me up oh and I hate childrens, I just hate them for no reason, I guess that makes me freak.

Tommorow I'll be applying as an intern in JM entertainment, I'm always this girl that bad luck follows around, I graduated from college yet I don't have a stable job, it's either I mess up or come late or fall asleep cause I only know how to sleep in the day time, I just hope I don't blow this up today"

Irish smiled and relax on the couch, she took a handful of popcorn and shoved it in her mouth, munching it roughly and concentrating on her movie

JAKE'S MANSION***

"Argggggghhhh" that scream was heard from Jenna

All the maids could be seen running helter skelter looking for what went wrong

"Miss Sharpen!!!" She yelled climbing down the stairs

All the maids turned their heads to the direction of Jenna's new nanny

"I'm done for" Sharpen muttered

Finally Jenna came down dressed in a mini pink robe and is holding an orange doll size pjyamas in her hands

"Miss Sharpen!!" She yelled and stopped at the lady's front

"What's wrong young miss?" Sharpen stuttered and gulped, even though she already has an idea of what went wrong

"What's wrong with my pyjama??, Why is it like this!!" Jenna yelled, showing Sharpen the pyjama that looks short like the size of a baby doll

"I...I.. I-

"You what!?, What did you do to my pyjama!!" Jenna yelled again

Just then Jake stepped in with his personal bodyguard, Peter who's looking the same age with him

"Young miss calm down I..

"Did you just tell me to calm down?" Jenna cut Sharpen off

Sharpen is about to reply but Jake beats her to it

"What's happening here?" He asked

"Dad" Jenna rushed to her dad

"Look what miss Sharpen did to my pyjama and she still has the guts to tell me to calm down!" Jenna reported, showing Jake the pyjama

Jake collected it and looked at it, then looked at Sharpen

"You did this?" He asked

Sharpen bowed her head in embarrassment

"That was my favorite pyjama dad" Jenna pouted sadly and Jake looked at Sharpen again

"I'm sorry sir" Sharpen bowed her head even more

"Sorry is an understatement Sharpen, does this mean a 24 years old woman can't wash clothes, you just came Friday and if you can do this to my daughter's pyjama then what will you do to her school uniform?" He asked sternly

"I'm so sorry" Sharpen muttered in tears

"No Sharpen, sorry can't work this out go and pack your things, leave my house and learn how to do domestic work, then maybe someone else can manage you" he said

"Sir" Sharpen fell on her knees

"Do you want my father to repeat himself?" Jenna crossed her arms

Sharpen immediately rose up and rushed to her room to pack her things, without waisting time she left

"You!" Jenna pointed at a maid and she came forward

"Go to the house boutique and get me another pyjama that looks exactly like this" she ordered

"Yes ma'am" the maid bowed and rushed out

"And madam Brook what is delaying the dinner I'm hungry" she shouted

"I'm sorry ma'am" madam broke bowed and rushed to the kitchen

Jake went upstairs to change and shower then came down to join Jenna at the dinning, the both of them began eating in silence before Jake started

"Jenna after dinner submit your tablet to me okay" he said, using his cutleries to cut some piece of meat

"But why" Jenna dropped her spoon and pouted

"What do you mean why?, You have school to go tommorow and you need to be up early, if I leave you with your tab you'll press it till the next morning" Jake replied

"No dad I promise I won't" Jenna pouted

"I won't take any risk, eat your food go to your room and hand over your tablet to me don't make me come take it myself young lady cause if I do then I'll seize it for a whole week" he said

"No need dad I'll submit it to you once I'm done with dinner" Jenna smiled

Jake looked at her face and smiled then patted her head.

Next Morning**

Irish is sleeping on the couch with her cup of popcorn on her hands, that's the major most annoying problem she has, she can't sleep at night but once it's day time she starts sleeping like a cat and she's a crazy sleeper

Della just climbed down from the stairs, dressed in a blue flare skirt and white t-shirt, she looked at Irish and shook her head, she went to the kitchen and fetched a bowl of water then poured a pack of iceblock inside

She tiptoed to Irish and poured the water on her body, Irish spranged up immediately

"Della!!" Irish cried

"You should thank me, you have 40 minutes left for your interview" Della said

Irish eyes widened, she immediately stood up and held Della's shoulder

"What did you say?" She asked

"You have 40 mins left for your interview" Della repeated

"Where's Kaylee, why didn't she wake me!" Irish asked

"She tried to but you didn't answer her so she had to leave, you don't want her to get fired right?" Della scoffed

"Oh no I'm so toast" Irish ruffled her hair and began walking up and down

"Girl you... The time you're using to panic use it to dress!" Della yelled

"Right, Kaylee you're a devil" Irish shouted and began undressing and running at the same time, before she reached the stairs she's already in her bra and panties

Della laughed so hard and held her knees to support herself so she won't fall

"You're a b*tch Della" Irish yelled and rushed to her room, she didn't bother showering, she just changed and brushed her hair anyhow, she didn't even use make up or brushed her teeth because of the time

She rushed back down and met Della still laughing

"F*ck you" she yelled and rushed out, she climbed her yellow bicycle and began riding with full speed.

**

Irish didn't look back as she's riding, she saw a small boy playing a ballon, she smirked and rode to him then took his balloon

"Hey give it back!" He yelled

"Hey give it back" she mimicked and burst it

The boy began crying while she laughed loudly till she got to the company, she stepped down from her bicycle and rushed in

"Miss miss miss" the reception pulled her back

"Why are you pulling me back can't you see I'm here for the interview!!" Irish yelled

"You're late" she said

"It's just 10:32, I'm just 2 mins late" Irish replied with an eye roll

"The boss don't like that" the reception said

"I'll try my luck" Irish smiled and rushed in, she bumped into Kaylee who's coming out from her office

"Babe you're late" Kaylee said

"Don't talk to me, devil" Irish huffed and knocked the door to the boss office

Eric opened the door and looked at her with a 'who are you and what do you want' look

"For the interview" she smiled

"Come in" Eric chuckled and make space for her to enter, she stared at him confusedly and entered

Eric is Jake's PA

"Sir, good morning sir" Irish smiled

Jake raised his head up and looked at her boringly while Irish eyes widened a bit at his handsomeness

"What are you here for?" He asked

"The interview" she replied

"You're fired".

TBC

How's it guys?

"Pardon?" Irish asked

Jake covered his laptop and looked at her again

"You're fired" he repeated

"But.. why?" She asked and Eric gasped

Did she just say why?? This girl sure have the guts. He looked at her and couldn't help but feel sorry for her

"Why?, You have the guts to ask me why??, You came late and you still wanna work here, well no but it's not qualified" he replied

"I... Sir I came late today for a valid reason" she tried defending herself

"I'm listening" he folded his hands together as he stared at her, the stares he's giving her just sent more chills down her spine

"I...my dog, I had to take him to the hospital around 6 and...and.." as she's talking she saw him covered his nose

"What's wrong sir?" She asked

"Your breath, it's really bad did you brush this morning?" He asked

"What are you talking about I... I...." She paused and blinked severally

"I had to rush here after taking my dog to the hospital so I forgot" she said lowly

"How old are you?" He asked

"23" she bit her lips

"23??, How can a twenty three forget to brush?" He asked

"I didn't do it on purpose I just didn't have time" she pouted and eyed him

"You should be ashamed" he shook his head

"It's not really my fault I didn't even wear makeup, I promise not to be late tomorrow" she pleaded

"Too late, you're fired" he repeated

"But..

"Fired"

"I..

"Fired"

"Sir..

"Fired"

"Fine!" She snapped and scattered his desk

Eric gasped and immediately looked away when he saw Jake looked at him

"You can leave now?" Jake said calmly

"Jerk" Irish scoffed and left

Once she came out, Kaylee stood up from her office and rushed to her

"How did it go?"

"Look at my face and tell me how it looks like?" Irish faced her and frowned

"It looks frowny" Kaylee replied

"Good now ask your question again" Irish said

"I'm sorry babe maybe next time..

"They will never be next time, I'm fed up!" Irish yelled and rushed out

"Baby" Kaylee called and looked at the direction of Jake's office that's just opposite hers, his glass cover is opened already so she can see him working

"As much as I love you,I hate you for not giving her a chance" she pouted, then he raised his head up to look at her,their eyes met and her heart skipped lots of beats

"His eyes are so beautiful, I lied I don't hate you instead I love you so much, really much my handsome fallen angel" she muttered, holding her chest and feeling her heartbeats

"Shouldn't you be working?" He asked and she came back to earth instantly

"I'm sorry boss" she smiled and rushed to her office then faced her laptop, mentally cursing herself.

Reaine's Elementary School**

"That's correct everyone a round of a plus for Terra" miss Raspen smiled

The whole students clapped for the little girl named Terra as she went to her sit

"Okay that's all for this activity, we have another activity coming up right now" miss Raspen said and took the marker

"Each students will come tell us about what they did with their mom last night" miss Raspen smiled and began writing students names on the board

Jenna facial expression changed immediately, she began sulking

"Miss Raspen, you made a mistake" Owen shouted

"Yes Owen?" Miss Raspen turned her head from the board to the little boy

"You added Jenna's name on the list" he said

Miss Raspen looked at the board and smiled awkwardly

"But there's nothing wrong with it, Jenna is a student here so she must...

"Jenna doesn't have a mom" Terra cut miss Raspen off

"Oh dear how can you say that, Jenna..

"She's right miss Raspen, ion have a mom" Jenna said sadly

"Don't be like this Jenna, everyone has a mom but yours is right with you, you might not be able to see her but she's with you" miss Raspen just had to say anything she could to confront the little girl

"Yeah, our mom is at home and we can see her perfectly fine.. miss Raspen let me go first" Owen smiled

Miss Raspen looked at Jenna and Jenna smiled a little

"I'm fine" she muttered

"Okay Owen come say your story, tell us what you did with your mom last night?" Miss Raspen asked

"Last night, me and my mom baked cookies together, my mom thought me how to cut it into a star, mummy cookies is so yummy that my dad licked the plates over and over" he said and they whole class laughed

"Me next me next!" Terra raised her hands and ran to the front of the class

"My mom bought me a new swimsuit, she thought me how to swim, last night I and my mom swam together till 11" she said

"That's nice Terra who wants to talk next" miss Raspen asked

Several students began rushing out to talk about their mom, Jenna could handle it anymore so she rushed out of the classroom in tears

"Jenna" miss Raspen called

"Jenna" Noah, her male friend shouted and ran after her, he met her sitting by the stairs and crying

"Jenna" he called and sat next to her

"Noah" Jenna cried and hugged him tight

"Noah I want to have a mom like others, I wish to have a mom, I just want a mom that'll teach me how to swim and how to bake cookies and do many other things" she cried

"Shh, Jenna remember what miss Raspen said, we have a mom but you can't just see yours" Noah said

"But I wanna see mine, you do see your mom right?" She looked at him and asked

"Yes I do see my mom" he replied

"Tell me what your mom did with you last night?" She asked

"It's nothing" he smiled

"Noah!!" She hits him

"Fine fine, my mom and I watched movies together, she downloaded SpongeBob SquarePants for me in her laptop and it was fun" he replied

"See I want that too" she cried again

"Shh, don't cry anymore Jenna, don't cry anymore" he patted her back.

Della and Kaylee stepped in together and met Irish sitting on the couch, watching movies and stuffing her face with pizza

"Hey baby" Della called

"Don't baby me I'm not happy!!" Irish flared

"Don't be mad, you'll find something else we'll make sure of it" Kaylee said softly

"Don't bother!" Irish stood up with a glare

"I'm better off this way" she fummed and matched up to the staircase

"Awwwn my poor baby" Kaylee pouted while Della moved to the couch to take the Pizza

"Gosh you're gonna eat that?" Kaylee asked

"Hmm, nothing is wrong with it, besides" Della took a slice and stuffed it in her mouth

"What will you make for dinner, please let it be spaghetti and meatballs" Della pleaded

"Foodie, tonight it's healthy salad" Kaylee replied

"What, no please change it!!" Della cried

"No" Kaylee sticked her tongue out and ran upstairs

"I said change it!!" Della ran after her

They got to the room with Della ontop of Kaylee's back, Irish is lying in the bed and pressing her phone furiously

"Get off me Della, you're so heavy" Kaylee pushed her off and went to her closet to change

"What's up" Della grinned coming to Irish

"I'm not in the damn mood, pack yourself and go away" Irish frowned

"Don't be like this baby, frowning doesn't suit you" Della pouted

"Who cares, can you believe that jerk said I have bad breath??" Irish sat up straight and groaned

"Well you did forgot to brush your teeth this morning plus you ate a lot of popcorn and drank a lot of soda last night" Della replied

"I know that but I've brush now, smell me" Irish cupped Della's cheeks and blow air into her nose

"Urgh, too minty" Della blinked and squeezed her face a little

"But I brushed didn't I??, He was like... How old are you, 23??, How can a twenty three forget to brush?, You should be ashamed. You're fired! How can you fire somehow that you haven't hired, who dies that??" Irish scoffed again

"You'll be fine" Della laughed

"Hope so" Irish pouted and faced her phone while Della jumped down from the bed and went to change

Kaylee just finished changing to a red boxer and white t-shirt, she came out of the bathroom and rushed downstairs to make dinner

"Irish" Della called coming out of the bathroom too

"Hmm?" Irish replied not taking her eyes off her phone, she's too engrossed in what's she's doing to look at her

"Guess what Kaylee is making for dinner?"

"Spaghetti and meatballs?" Irish replied

"No try again"

"Japanese sushi?"

"Very wrong, again"

"Hmmm, you just tell me I'm outta ideas" Irish sighed

"Healthy salad" Della yelled

"What??, Kaylee!!!" Irish threw her phone and jumped down from the upper bunk bed

"Kaylee!! You dare not" she yelled and rushed down the stairs, Della began laughing again before running along with her.

"Hmm, I need a new nanny for Jenna, highest tommorow or next" he said

"Okay sir" madam Brook bowed

"Hmm and help me check on Jenna, why isn't she out yet.. I tried talking to her yesterday but she kept quiet throughout, it's so unlike her" he added

JM Entertainment***

Jake went straight to his office, ignoring greetings as usual, he sat on his desk and called for Kaylee

"Sir" she came in immediately

"Good morning sir" she greeted with a smile

"Any appointment for me today?" He asked, leaning back on his couch and closing his eyes

Instead of replying, Kaylee began drooling at him, he even looks more perfect with his eyes closed

"I asked a question" his voice brought her back to earth

"Oh, right" she opened the book she's holding and began reading it out

"You have a meeting with Saint Francisco by 11:40am after that you have lunch meeting at 1:30pm then you have your afternoon nap from 1:30pm to 2:00pm then..

"Enough, tell Eric to get ready" he cut her off

"Yes sir" Kaylee bowed and began looking at him again

"Kaylee" he called calmly

"Yes sir?" She replied, not taking her eyes off him

"If I open my eyes and catch you looking at me next time, you'll submit your resignation letter that day" he said

Kaylee gasped and rushed out, she hits her forehead as she got to her office

"I'm pretty with sexy body, all men likes me why is he different?" She asked herself and sat down

"Kaylee, better start thinking straight from now on before you loose your job" she muttered and fanned herself with a book.

**

Jake opened his short drawal at the front of his desk and brought out a pic of him and a woman looking younger, the both of them looked happy in the photo, he was hugging her waist from behind with his lips on get neck while she was laughing

"Noami" he muttered and a teardrop fell off his eyes

FLASHBACKS...EIGHT YEARS AGO***

Jake just woke up and stretched his body, he turned to the side of his bed and felt it, when he felt nothing he opened his eyes immediately

"Baby" he called and looked around

"Baby" he stood up and went to the other small room where little Jenna who's not even up to a one month old is sleeping

"She's not with Jenna" he muttered and went closer to check on her but he saw a letter on Jenna's hand

"Huh?" He said to himself and took it, he opened it and began reading

💌Jake, if you're seeing this letter then just have it in mind that I'm gone already, I just want to tell you thank you, thank you for all the love and care you've shown me, thank you so much. I know you are going to hate me for leaving like this but I'm sorry, I just can't anymore I'm not happy here with you, I wanna be single and free like my friends, we are still college students and I'm not ready to become a mother yet, I wanna flex around, I wanna be free. I know I'm being selfish but I'm so sorry, from today onwards I'm leaving Jenna to your care, you'll be a good father I've seen it in your eyes, do take care of her. Goodbye Jake, from your love Naomi 💌

The letter slipped off Jake's hands, he refused to believe it. Noami can't leave him, he love her so much he would die if she leaves

He rushed to her room and truly all her belongings are gone, what happened to the simple life they planned to live together and what happened to the I'll love you till I get old

Why does Noami has to be so selfish, how can she leave him alone with Jenna??, Maybe she's joking maybe she'll come back

These were all Jake's thought but eight years has past now and still nothing from her

END OF FLASHBACK

Jake kept the letter back in his drawal and sighed, wiped his tears off and looked up

"I'm still hoping you'll come back Naomi" he muttered

"Sir" Eric entered

"It's 11:00am already sir" he announced

"Alright, let's go then" Jake stood up and straighten his suit before leaving with Eric.

Lorry's Beauty Spa**

"Thank you so much Della, my rashes are almost gone look" a woman said, showing Della her face

"Not just that, you're looking more beautiful plus your skin is extra glowing" Della added

"Really?" The woman asked, checking her face in the mirror

"Hmm, you can ask anyone you're looking so pretty I'm kinda jealous of you now" Della pouted

"Woah, thank you so much Della" the woman smiled widely

"I told you we have the best treatment here at lorry's beauty spa" Della winked

"Now I believe, and as extra payment" the woman smiled and got out her wallet, she counted 100 dollars and handed it to Della

"Get yourself some treats" she smiled

"Woah thanks" Della smiled

"Enjoy" the woman chuckled

"My my, then excuse me" Della flew off her chair while the woman chuckled, she then stood up and left and unknowingly something fell off from her bag

Della rushed to the snacks matching, she got herself a huge handbugger and smoothie, she began eating at once but paused when a handsome guy walked pass her

She peeped at him, when he saw he entered a door then closed it, she sighed and began eating again, that guy that just walked past her is her crush, his name is Beau, the most beautiful creature on Earth if you ask her

"I can't let him catch me eating like a glutton, which I am" she muttered and took a quick bite on the handbuggers before going back to her office

She looked surprised when she didn't see the woman again

"Huh, she left" Della muttered and went to drop her smoothie on the desk, she wanted sit but stepped on something

"Huh?" She said again and bend it pick it, it's a flyer

"Nanny needed at JM mansion, Interview ending tomorrow" she read it out

"This can be a last chance for Irish, I'll give it to her this evening" she muttered and folded it then kept it in her bag and sat down

"Now where were we?" She smiled and picked up her handbugger, ready to eat again.
